“Another Sad Song exposes the truths behind the highs and lows of the music industry,” Livvy Lauren describes the premiering duet with Maddox Jones, a cathartic collaboration ahead of Jones’ forthcoming sophomore album, ‘Waiting for the World to Turn’, set to drop on November 1st.
Distributed by Radikal Records, ‘Another Sad Song’ stems from an organic conversation between Kent-based rising star Livvy Lauren and Northampton singer-songwriter Maddox Jones. The premiering record dismisses the false glitz and glamours of being an artist. With their joint emotive vocals, Jones and Lauren depict the daily struggles of ‘trying to make it.’
Despite the deep personal underlying remarks, the core of ‘Another Sad Song’ lies within the hope of the things you love picking you back up. As much as Jones and Lauren shed light on the reality of the industry’s unpredictability and uncertainty, the exhaustion of forced smiles, and the overall questioning of ‘how long can I keep going,’ the song is an uplifting, power ballad.
‘Another Sad Song’ binds up the genuine emotional rollercoaster of musicians and their neverending dream-chasing. The voices of Maddox Jones and Livvy Lauren carry painful truths delivered with admirable grace.
Maddox Jones elaborates on what the track represents: “I met Livvy through Radikal records ,and we bonded over our experiences in the music industry. Another Sad song is about how sometimes the struggles in life are what make the journey worthwhile. Personally for me, it’s a cathartic song and I can really feel the emotion in our voices when I listen to it.”
Livvy Lauren adds: “Another Sad Song exposes the truths behind the high’s and lows of the music industry – something that myself and Maddox instantly connected over. Although it is personal to us as artists, it also resonates with anyone who experiences the same feelings towards something or someone that they love. Although the lyrics come from a deep place, the song was created to uplift listeners, stating that when the times get tough, the things that you love will also pick up back up.. “we won’t be another sad song”. The honesty alongside the raw emotional vocals make this song the perfect power-ballad in my opinion.”
